Belmont week starts with MSW skien, juicy late quad
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Week starts off with interesting Wednesday card at Belmont, and though I looked fully at races 2-5, the late P4 seems much more preferable as a target. In the early quad, the 3rd, 4th and 5th are Maiden Special affairs that look alternately chalky or impossible.
Linda Rice pair (#2e; 7-5) appear obvious in the 3rd (NYB 2yo-F going 6f on the inner turf), while $3,100,000 KMc colt (#1a Chimayo; 3-1) should improve in the 4th, second start stretching out to a mile. Second out #2 (POE) Whydah from Pletcher is worth a long look at 8-1 ML in the 7f-Turf 5th. The More Than Ready miss was washed off the lawn in her debut and is a decent alternative to the logical 7-2 fave Red Barchetta from Barbara. Toner’s #5 La Cloche (8-1), a daughter of the wonderful Memories of Silver, will likely find her way onto my tickets too..
The late P4 has possible price horses scattered about in the 1st, 2nd and 4th legs, so I’m going to try to sneak a single of #1 Sly, part of favored and potent Tony Dutrow entry with I’ve Got Speed, through in the 8th..
